We specialize in the investigation and rectification of subsidence damage, with experience of investigating several thousand properties. We understand that such damage can be of particular concern, especially at a point of sale and the need for prompt service. We will liaise with your insurers/loss adjuster to facilitate the smooth running of your claim and keep you fully informed of the actions being undertaken.
